Welcome to another one of my videos with random geography, country, and culture facts. I initially wanted to make this video filled with wholesome facts since the theme of my last random facts video was more depressing. It runs out depressing facts are easlier to come up with and find. So hopefully, this video will just make you happy by learning something interesting. Anyway, let's go ahead and begin.

6 billion parking spots? So instead of taking farmland out of production for solar farms , how about covering parking lots with solar panels? They would absorb sunlight instead of it heating up our cars or the pavement

@@antipuck You're so lucky! I guess I'm obsessed with it because of its geography. How it's an American state but so far north and to the west is Russia! The northern lights and how it's called the state of the midnight sun? Something like that. Maybe I'm romanticizing it, who knows. All I know is that I have to "meet it" before I die. :) So lucky that you lived there!

it snowed in Yuma, AZ (my home town) on Dec 12, 1932. Long before I was around to see it. I didn't experience snow first hand until I was 19-20 when I briefly lived in Prescott AZ

We moved from Arizona recently, and I remember reading a story that when it snowed in Yuma, it was overnight. Since city officials knew it would melt by morning, the emergency vehicles turned on their sirens, so kids could wake up and see the snow.

Emotional rollercoaster on that bit on the almost annexation of the Dominican Republic. It also showed that even at the time it was not out of the ordinary to acknowledge the senselessness of racial prejudice and clear eyed observation that newly free blacks were not being given the chance to even grow roots as to rise and achieve their potential without being artificially held down. And he didn’t want to just deport them to some island but he saw them as Americans that could stay American but escaping the undercurrent of racial prejudice. Grant is really slept on as one of our greatest presidents and reminds me a lot of Teddy Roosevelt a lot in his ahead of the time thinking but action to back it up. American legends.

At the end of his presidency Grant spoke to a meeting of African-American leaders, I think in Philadelphia. In the speech he apologized for failing to make the promise of the Civil War, freedom and equal rights protected by the Constitution and Justice Department real for Black Americans. Such a humble modest man. He's my favorite General and was a good President. He believed in racial equality. He actually tried. Not until Lindon Johnson did a President do anything to bring Liberty and Justice for All to America.

11:00 as a South African who’s partner is “cape Malay”, here’s some extra facts: - cape Malay people generally prefer the term “coloured” (alternative spelling: “kalid”) - most are not actually descended from Malaysians. They’re mostly Indonesian of origin, or at least, the coloured people with a lot of Asian genes are - the remaining are very much mixed race
I live in Miami FL and I can assure you that we've had MANY days of 100+ degrees.

Some great geography surprises: Montreal, Quebec is farther south than Trieste, Italy. Toronto, Ontario is on the same latitude as the northern coast of Spain. Cape May, New Jersey is farther south than Newport, Kentucky.
